I think these articles are informative and useful food for thought.
However, they don't seem to really be applicable here, and I definitely
disagree with the implication that a) using Invoke() is "polluting the UI
thread" and especially b) that the proposed alternative, using the
Synchronization Context class, avoids "polluting the UI thread". If
there's a pollution problem (and I don't feel that there is), the
Synchronization Context approach has exactly the same problem that
Control.Invoke( ) does (seeing as they both wind up using the same
mechanisms).
In this particular message thread, there is a specific need to execute the
code on the GUI thread. There's no way around that. The simplest, most
straightforward way to do that is to simply call Invoke() with an
anonymous method that contains the code that needs to be executed.
It's good for people to know that Synchronization Context exists and how to
use it. But in reality, Control.Invoke( ) (or Control.BeginIn voke()) is
sufficient and perfectly appropriate for most needs.

Yay! :) Still, you might eventually find that using a real newsreader is
better. :)

Yep I take that on board, I've been playing with it in a mix of UI and
non UI contexts so it's quite interesting to me. I was semi wrong
about Opera being fixed. It works in standard view, but not tree view.
I'd love to use a real newsreader, but our pesky firewall is in the
way :( Fine at home of course. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello there, :)
I need a frameset that will have the same look and behavior in Firefox
1.5+ as it does in IE 6+. Here is a URL for it:
http://66.51.164.93/fs/default.htm
In IE, the "seam" between the three frames is blue, 4 or 5 pixels
wide, and -- most importantly! -- draggable! It is great -- in IE,
that is. Is it possible to have this same look and behavior in
Firefox?

Hi,
I am trying to write a generic function and it isn't behaving as expected.
I want to avoid having to write custom convert functions for my enums so
I want to convert to an int and cast to the enum, this wouldn't compile so
I tried a few variations.
The cast fails inside the generic function even though its valid.
The code below is the simplest example of the problem I could think of, even
casting int to int fails.

Why doesn't the C standard include generic function pointers?
I use function pointers a lot and the lack of generic ones is not so cool.
There is a common compiler extension (supported by GCC and lccwin32 for example)
which I consider to be perfectly reasonable: you can cast every kind of function pointer
to a void pointer and void pointers to any kind of function pointer.
This follows the general "generics through void scheme" of C....

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
